SUE was the sister I never had! Sue and I shared many posts and messages with each other 10 times a day, and phone calls and cards/letters. We had so much in common. I don't get out of the house almost at all and Sue used to take me along on all her trips with pictures.   That was just the way she was. She was always so full of love for family and friends.  She was always a strong,  determined and optimistic  person. I loved Sue and miss her greatly. A person with a generous  heart that cannot be replaced. SUE, you are missed!

I will miss and do miss Susan dearly.   She truly has the heart of an angel.  She was a rare human being who touched my heart in many ways that has left an immeasurable impact on my life.     
It was a gift to get to know her.  She was always ready and willing to  reach out to help others selflessly with genuine love and warmth. 
Sincerely,
Suzanne Pearlman


To Sue's Family, 
I knew Sue from the York Schools. I worked there for 30 years and had traffic duty on a daily basis.  Her  face was one of those  that always had a smile on it when  it came up the driveway to drop kids at school or when it was exiting to take kids home.  Sue was a most enjoyable person to chat with.  I can only imagine how wonderful it was for you all to have her in your lives.  I can tell from the wonderful written tribute to her that you will have lots of memories to keep Sue in your hearts and home.  My deepest condolences on your loss.  

How do you fit 50+ years of friendship and memories in a few lines in a guest book? How about chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast on a Sunday morning on Fairfax Ave? Or being amazed at her dad's craftsmanship in the "room" that he built for Susan that took up an entire floor of the Moran homestead! Maybe it was the first ride taken in her brand new Mustang convertible that her parents purchased for her. No, it had to be when we were crammed in the JP's office to witness your parent's nuptials. Plus, who can forget the texts, talks and visits over the years?!

Next, it was when you kids came along. Tracy scampering about the house in Norwich. Then came the births of Erin, Rebecca and Christopher.

One thing is certain - you "kids" and grands were and continue to be your mom's pride and joy. Her memory will be honored through continuing the traditions and keeping a close family bond that meant so much to her. Her strength will live on in each of you.

May Susan rest in peace and have a special part of all of us who knew and loved her. 



My deepest sympathy to Becca and all of Sue's family on their great loss. She cherished time with family,  especially with her grandchildren. 
I am grateful for my time with her personally two years ago when Bob & I came from PA to Maine and had a wonderful, memorable lunch with Sue. Over the past two years,  she sent me many thank you notes for being her friend. She fought a brave battle right up to the end. May many wonderful memories  together as a family bring you comfort and peace. I send her my love.
 Sue & Bob Deobil

We are very sad to hear this news. Sue was the school bus driver for our kids when they were young. I remember often she would have one of her grand kids seated behind her on the bus. She was very personable and friendly and cared alot about the kids. She would decorate the bus and give out treats on special occassions. When my kids were older, they lucked out again having her as their track bus driver for all those years. We enjoyed speaking with her at the meets which she truly enjoyed watching. The York school system was very fortunate to have had her all these years.

I ran track for my 4 years of high school. Sue drove us up and back from every track meet. She would come watch all our meets and ask us how we did. I remember after every meet she had some type of treat for us that we passed around the bus, you were lucky if you got on Sue’s bus. She was incredibly thoughtful. Sue would always drive the late bus after winter track meets so us kids could stop for food on the way back. She was a big part of track, everyone knew Sue and was so grateful for her. She was a someone you knew really cared about us.

First met Sue while Kittery had no power, she came over and offered her kitchen for cooking a meal, and her bathroom for a hot shower.  We had many conversations, over the fence, in her backyard, and texting of course. I shall miss her, such a dear lady.  See you down the road M'Lady.  To the family, so sorry for the loss of your mother/nana. 

I will miss our little get togethers on the porch,and the telephone calls you always had time for, for the family, I am truly sorry,and thanks for taking such good care of her

It was truely our pleasure to get to know and care for Sue.  Her sweet kindness, sense of humor and lively spirit will be missed by us all, and will never be forgotten. She loved those around her selflessly and her resiliency is an inspiration. We are so honored that she trusted us to help her live her best life, as the quality time with her family and friends ment so much to her. Sue's memory will forever be in our hearts and the love she gave and allowed us to give her, will influence us forever. Condolences and best wishes to you all.
Dr. Laura and the Compass Family.


Susan was such a sweetheart, always so pleasant  and kind. She would always tell me how nice my sons were on the sports bus hahaha..she just had such a warmth to her and she will be missed so much.

Sue was a wonderful bus driver to my 3 children.  I always felt they were safe in her care.  I’m so sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of waving to this lovely lady every day for 14 years while doing bus duty at CRES. Her smile, friendly wave, and finger count for the buses still to arrive was a wonderful (and helpful) start to my day! She was a gift to our children!

I am grateful that my four children were blessed with having Sue as their bus driver for a number of years.  She was kind beyond measure and I knew that they were safe and cared for every morning when I walked them to the bus stop.  

Susan will always be in our thoughts and prayers !! We will remember all the wonderful times we had as  a  family. Holidays ;the short and long trips her great food and desserts and playing games!!   She was a loving and gracious person and we will surely miss her!! We loved her very much!! Ron +Rose Siraco 

We have been lucky enough to have known Sue for a long time.  Great person to just sit and talk to. She loved her family and we were lucky enough to be part of that family.
Our hearts go out the the family and friends who will miss her as we do.
Sue is up there with Ronnie and Clara and the gang.
Love the Swanson's
